After seeing Harleysmoker cook up a chuck, I wanted give one a shot. Picked up a 2 pack at Costco this morning, both weighed in just over 3 lbs each. Put some yellow mustard on them and did one with a standard salt, pepper, and granulated garlic while the other one got trader joes coffee and garlic rub.
The WSM settled in at 255, it was about 35 and windy today so I was happy with that. Just going to use a lot of fuel. Had 4 chunks of pecan in there.
These guys really cooked slow. The stall killed me. Took 8 hours to get up to 190, even after increasing the heat to 275. I wrapped them and let them rest for 2 hours.
Salt and pepper.
Coffee and garlic.
The salt and pepper was perfect. Just what I was expecting. The coffee and garlic was just ok. Was really lacking flavor and a little dry. Both will be devoured in the next couple of days, but next time it will be just salt, pepper and garlic. I will also start much earlier in the day and finish early.
